Some of us leave this earth
better than we found it
Some of us go far afield
from the place where we were born
Some of us leave monuments
charging into war on bronze horses
Some of us leave this world
and the world is better for our loss
Some of us leave books and songs
which chime in hearts and minds forever
Some of us leave grateful children
to sing our praises until they go too
Some of us spend our days quietly
shielding our young just surviving
